Introductory Algebra with Basic Mathematics

Introductory Algebra with Basic Mathematics is designed to be taught in all classroom settings, from lecture or small group classes to self-paced learning laboratories. The authors' acclaimed three-step interactive method lets students see a worked example, attempt a similar end-of-section exercise, and then see the complete solution to that exercise. Exercises concentrate on writing and research development, problem solving using real data, and exploring different strategies to solve problems.
